Beyond John Rawls’ original intention to limit the scope of political liberalism to only existing and well-ordered liberal democracies, political liberalism has the potential to inspire and contribute to democratic establishment and maintenance in East Asia. Specifically, the book has two main objectives. First, it will demonstrate that political liberalism offers the most promising vision for liberal democracy, and it can be defended against contemporary perfectionist objections. Second, it will show that perfectionist approaches to political Confucianism suffer from practical and theoretical difficulties. Instead, an alternative model of democracy inspired by political liberalism will be explored in order to achieve a multivariate structure for citizens to come to terms with democracy in their own ways, to support a neutral state that ensures the establishment and stability of democracy, and to maintain an active public role for Confucianism to prevent it from being banished to the private sphere. This model represents a more promising future for democracy in East Asia.Philosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations,2352-8370 ;12Political philosophyPolitical theoryPhilosophy, AsianComparative politicsDemocracyPolitical Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Non-Western Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44060Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Democracyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050Political philosophy.Political theory.Philosophy, Asian.Comparative politics.Democracy.Political Philosophy.Political Theory.Non-Western Philosophy.Comparative Politics.Democracy.321.8095Li Zhuoyaoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut957707MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910390857103321Political Liberalism, Confucianism, and the Future of Democracy in East Asia2169290UNINA
